Chapter 983: Shooting the First Bird

Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan stood together. The two were handsome and pretty, and they were a perfect match.

Especially Jiang Xuecheng, because the breeze blew by and messed up Su Wan's hair, he still had time to gently tuck the messed up hair behind Su Wan's ears.

And this scene of a blatant show of affection, under the current situation, seems so penetrating!

It's obviously a tense moment, and it's not certain who will win. Are these two people so relaxed?

The guests around them had their hearts in their throats, but when they saw the situation of Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng, they felt a little relieved.

…

For some reason, Fiennes looked at the calm faces of Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan, and suddenly thought of the same situation at the racecourse that day.

It was clear that life and death were on a thin line, but Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng seemed to not care about anything and only had eyes for each other.

Fiennes's blue eyes narrowed, he clenched his hands suddenly, and veins popped out on the back of his hands!

"Su Wan, I don't know why you blatantly brought an impostor to slander me!"

Even if most people are pointing guns at him, one-third of them are still his subordinates!

It is not impossible to fight to the death and get a chance of survival!

Even at this moment when he was at a disadvantage, Fiennes' back was straight and he showed no sign of timidity.

He looked around at the noble guests present, his blue eyes shrouded like clouds.

"There are so many people here today. Distinguished guests, do you believe the one-sided words of a little girl and a fake?"

Many guests looked at each other in shock, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Fiennes using them as spearheads and forcing them to take sides.

Who to choose?

Because the emperor's son did not come from a wealthy family, but appeared out of thin air, there has always been a lot of criticism of Jiang Xuecheng among the nobles.

As for Master Fiennes...

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you are on the wrong team today, I am afraid it will affect the fate of the entire family!

Everyone's breathing was slightly stagnant, no one wanted to be the one to announce their answer!

I'd rather be vague and choose no one for the time being!

Seeing those people pushing and shoving, Fiennes' expression became more and more stern. He looked directly at the head of the Durfee family, Ye Hanwen, who was standing not far away.

"Uncle Ye, you are the most respected elder among the four major families. No one here dares to say that you are more senior than you. Are you willing to work with me to take down that fake?"

As the head of the Durfee family, Ye Hanwen was originally a grasshopper on the same line as Fiennes. The two families had already signed an alliance treaty!

But the moment he saw Jiang Xuecheng appear so elegantly, Ye Hanwen suddenly realized that they might have underestimated this young man from the beginning.

Especially after seeing so many traitorous guards!

I'm afraid there are many informants in his family, right?

Ye Hanwen was sweating drop by drop. He didn't want to be dragged out to be a gunman so soon!

Fiennes's thin lips pursed into a straight line, his profile was cold and his azure eyes were as gloomy as water!

"Uncle Ye, why don't you speak?"

Ye Hanwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally said reluctantly.

"Master Fiennes, I think there is indeed something fishy about today's matter, but I haven't found out yet whether it is the Emperor's son or not. We'd better not jump to conclusions..."

Before Ye Hanwen finished speaking, he heard Fiennes sneer.

——At this time, Ye Hanwen wants to pretend to be a good guy? !

Ye Hanwen had full participation in those things back then!

"Do you think that at this point, they will let you go just because of your words?"

Who they are referring to, no one knows better than Fiennes and Ye Hanwen!

Ye Hanwen glanced at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng tangledly. The dead soldiers he had cultivated in private were nearby. Was it still too late for him to mobilize them now?

Ye Hanwen gritted his teeth, recalled what he had done in the past, and finally pressed the communicator in his hand!

There is still one third of Fiennes' cronies present. As long as he persists for five minutes, his people will arrive!

However, just when Ye Hanwen pressed the communicator, he suddenly realized something was wrong!

The signal has actually been blocked!

It was obviously still useful before!

Why now...

Ye Hanwen was so anxious that he stumbled over his words because he was so anxious!

"No signal! What should I do?"

When Fiennes heard this, his heart suddenly fell to the bottom!

Jiang Xuecheng actually cut off his escape route!

Except for the lonely and helpless days when he was young, he had never been like this for a moment, with his back stiff and hesitant to the extreme!

Fiennes stared intently at Jiang Xuecheng and Su Wan. His originally blue eyes were now red and bloodshot!

…

Su Wan had long known Jiang Xuecheng's personality of not taking any action but striving for perfection once he did, so when he heard Ye Hanwen's words about "no signal", he burst into laughter.

There were obviously people pointing guns at her and Jiang Xuecheng, but Su Wan felt an inexplicable sense of peace of mind since she stood next to Jiang Xuecheng.

Where Jiang Xuecheng is, even if it is filled with smoke, it is still her home.

Su Wan's eyebrows were curved, and her clear black apricot eyes showed the curve of the crescent moon, so charming.

"Hey, tell me the truth, was it you who caused the trouble?"

As Su Wan said, she couldn't help but poke Jiang Xuecheng's arm.

Jiang Xuecheng seemed not to care about the formality and stroked Su Wan's hair in a good mood.

"What do you think?"

Although there was no direct answer, the tone of the rhetorical question made the answer obvious.

…

Seeing that Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng were still in a joking mood, blue veins appeared on Fiennes' forehead.

Facing Fiennes's stern eyes, Jiang Xuecheng looked back calmly.

"Admit defeat, Fiennes."

As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng narrowed his narrow eyes, but the smile on his thin lips subsided.

"So what if I don't recognize it?!"

Fiennes smiled contemptuously as strong anger came over him.

He doesn't admit defeat, let alone fate, never!

After all, the troops on both sides were armed with guns and stared at each other, but each was afraid of the other and did not dare to act rashly.

Just as they were in a stalemate, everyone suddenly heard a sarcastic female voice and the sound of rolling wheels!

"Fiennes, do you think you can still win at this point?"

This is? !

Hearing that familiar female voice, all the nobles present shivered!

Didn't it mean that the high priest had been out traveling for a long time? He hadn't seen her for more than half a month, and she actually appeared?

Everyone turned around in unison, expecting to see the graceful and proud woman, but what appeared in front of them was a woman sitting in a wheelchair.

However, there is no doubt that he is the high priest!

No one can mistake her!
